i just found the work of eva of
tinctory while visiting etsy. i was immediately drawn to eva's jewelry because it is smocked. there is something very comforting about smocking, it's so tactile, nostalgic, sentimental, feminine...i have loved smocking since i was a kid. my favorite thing to dress up in was a blue sundress with a smocked top and a full skirt. i like that eva keeps her pieces simple, creating mostly pendants. it really highlights the technique. her subdued color palette is contemporary, yet lends a sense of age.
thanks for reading.

These are really great! My mom used to make my sister and I smocked dresses and jumpers. She was quite the seamstress- which is a medium I could not grasp... So I went into metals.

ReplyDeleteI loves her pieces, the way she manipulates fabric is just beautiful. She reminds me of Ruth Singer, who works in fabric as well, but in more of an installation/artwork style.
ReplyDeleteThose are some good finds - pretty cool.
